Listen

After this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

Think

Do you work harder to get the job done when there are 100 workers and 100 tasks or when there is just you to do all 100? Besides the fact that we should work hard no matter the situation, we often work harder when we are faced with a difficult task all alone.

This is the situation the 70 were placed in. They may have been frantic at first, but I am sure they devised a plan to get the job done.

We are faced with the same statement: “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” While there are more laborers than just you and me, it is still few. We have to come to God in order for us to be sent.
